Boxing & Kickboxing that meet you where you are.
Real boxing and kickboxing for beginners, parents and regulars. Clear guidance, technique-first coaching, and sessions that fit around real life.
Free for first-timers • No contract
Training that feels safe, clear, and made for you.
A calm, focused studio where you can learn real boxing and kickboxing in small classes, with technique-first coaching, non-competitive energy, and clear next steps from Free Trial into a steady routine.
Small classes
Numbers stay low so your coach can actually watch you move and give specific, in-the-moment feedback.
Technique-first coaching
Clear demos, simple language, and step-by-step progressions that build skill, confidence, and fitness together.
Non-competitive, calm energy
No ego, no pressure to spar. You train hard, feel welcome, and work at a pace that fits your life, headspace, and routine.
Most people start with a Free Trial, then settle into a 2×-per-week routine or a short intro pass — no hard sell, ever.
A Boxing Studio Built for Real People, Not Fighters Only.
The MAW Studios is a small, independent boxing & kickboxing studio in Hackney Wick, East London. We teach real boxing and kickboxing the way they’re meant to be taught — technical, focused, and safe — without the ego or chaos of a big-box gym.
You train in small groups, learn proper form, and progress at a pace that fits around work, family, and real life. Sessions are structured, calm, and welcoming — whether you’re brand new, returning after time away, or building existing skill. Our aim is simple: safe coaching, real technique, and progress you can actually feel week to week.
We meet you where you’re at.
Beginner, returning after a break, building fitness, or trying something new — our coaching adapts to you, not the other way round.
Clear cues, predictable structure.
Simple language, clear demonstrations, and a familiar class flow mean you never have to guess what’s happening or worry about falling behind.
Progress without pressure.
You always know what to expect and how to pace yourself, so you can focus on moving well — not overthinking — and leave feeling calmer and more confident.
Start with one free class and feel the difference.
Try any eligible class on us. Meet the coaches, see the space, and experience technique-first boxing, kickboxing, kids’ sessions, or community yoga — all in a calm, supportive studio.
- Beginner-friendly and neurodivergent-aware coaching.

I’m new — where should I start?
Start with a Free Trial Class in Boxing or Kickboxing Essentials. Small groups, clear coaching, and we’ll help you choose your next step (2-Week Trial, packs or a membership).
What should I bring?
Comfortable kit, water, and indoor-friendly trainers. If you’re new, we have wraps/gloves you can borrow — we’ll show you how to use them.
How beginner-friendly are the classes?
Very. Essentials sessions are structured for complete beginners: slower pace, clear cues, smaller groups, and space to learn without pressure.
What age is Kids & Family for?
Mixed ages — usually 6–14. Parents/guardians can join the session so siblings and families can train together safely.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your booking. Evening sessions include a 15-minute buffer for smooth changeovers.

I’m ND, anxious, or returning from injury — is it ok?
Yes — this is who we built the studio for. Tell us what helps (clearer cues, quieter spot, slower tempo, or no partner drills). We adapt the coaching to you.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes — add a guest at checkout or message us on WhatsApp/Instagram. Friends can join Free Trial classes too.
